23K miles now so I guess Id better have a look at the valve clearances. But not until winter
and I think i'll add new chain and sprockets too, plus two new tyres in the new year

Funnily enough I was just talking about changing my rear tyre a few minutes ago.
I have a PR4 on at the moment but although I absolutely love the grip and handling of it, this particular tyre has given me nothing but grief from day 1, from leaking rims, a leaking internal patch/plug, and even had trouble when it was being fitted.
I ordered another (from abroad) over a year ago but I accidentally ordered a different model.
In two minds to ask if the shop will do a swap for another PR4 with a bit of cash on top, as I really trust those tyres.
The one I got looks like it'll be fine in wet or dry weather, but not so confident about what it might be like in frosty/icy weather, and I ride all year round so it is a big deal for me.
